Frazzled

It seems like lately I’m lucky if I’m getting one day a week to devote to my blogs, and honestly I’m sorry for that.  I really haven’t had time to devote to much of anything lately except for that thing we all hate to think about called real life.  My email accounts are overflowing with 2 weeks worth of mail, I haven’t read any twitter messages, and let’s not even discuss the way my house looks right now.  Things have definitely gotten away from me.

I haven’t even had the chance to share how the ultrasound went, but I promise to devote a full post to that in a bit hopefully complete with the pics.  I have a few other things on my mind I’ve been wanting to get out as well, but we’ll see if I have enough time for that.  As usual I’m working with a short time span here, and I’ll be lucky to even touch my email.

The truth is the last 2 weeks have been a big emotional roller coaster that have kept me from sharing much of anything with anyone be it online or in real life.  I haven’t had the time or the sanity.  A lot of that can be blamed on good ‘ole pregnancy hormones and their tendency to make me extremely over emotional.


Ah, but when it rains it definitely pours.

I’d say the rest can be blamed on all the events that have popped up and collided head on making life really difficult right now.  This has definitely been one of our lowest points in life, but we’re dealing with it.  Needless to say that (combined with Hubby being home almost constantly) has drained what little bit of sanity I might have had left.

After 2 weeks of letting it all pile on my shoulders I had to put my foot down and face it all.  I came to the conclusion that I needed to kick my Husband out of the house for the day if I wanted to retain any ounce of sanity, and I had myself a good ‘ole cry fit.  Sometimes that’s really all it takes to put things in perspective.  Life still sucks right now, but at least my shoulders feel a little lighter and my head isn’t spinning.

Thursday Thunks A Day Late

Here is my late edition of Thursday Thunks even though I’m a wee bit late.  It will give you all something to read while I’m off seeing the munchkin bouncing around on that screen.  Wish us luck, and let’s hope the little booger doesn’t decide to keep it’s legs crossed!

Heterochromia, A Haunted Earth and The Dungeon

1. Do you know anyone with heterochromia? Does it freak you out or do you think it’s interesting?

Actually I do, and it doesn’t freak me out.  My cousin has Sectoral heterochromia (one brown eye and one eye that is half blue & half brown), and I think it’s the coolest!  When I was a kid I wanted to trade eyes with her.

2. Should a 5th face be added to Mount Rushmore? If so, who?

Nah, leave it be.  We the people are already paying for way too much for stuff that isn’t needed anyway, like the $18 million recovery.gov website redesign!

3. If you could live on any planet other than earth, which one would you choose and why?

Saturn because it’s awesome.  My house would float on it’s rings because I’m just cool like that.

4. We’re going to spend the night at a reportedly haunted location, are you going with us?

Heck no.  Been there, done that, and I’m a sissy!

If so, which reportedly haunted place are we going?
5. Did you play The Queen’s Meme this week? If so, was it fair of The Queen to put Berleen in the dungeon by association with Kimber? (We all know Kimber deserved it, but Berleen?!)

Nope so I guess I have no opinion!

6. What color is the towel(s) hanging in your bathroom?

The one at the sink is green & purple with lots of frogs on it.  There’s a pink one on the back of the door, and a green one over the tub.  Yeah, I think we own towels in every color of the rainbow and then some.

7. Tell us something funny that happened to you recently.

Um…as clumsy as I am right now something funny happens to me everyday, but my pregnancy brain fog doesn’t allow me to remember most of it.

8. We just bought you a cow. Do you kill it & grill it, feed it & milk it, or sell it?

Now that depends on a lot of factors.  How old is said cow?  Has said cow had a calf recently?  It is still producing milk?  I know I couldn’t bring myself to kill it.

What the heck am I saying?  I’m too lazy to milk it, so I’d feed it and plump the sucker up then sell it for a profit.  At least that’s what I say I would do, but I tend to develop a soft spot for our cows and never want to sell them.  I’m especially attached to Dodge, my bottle fed baby steer, although he’s no longer a baby.
9. It’s 115 degrees outside (46 degrees Celsius), are you able to go without Air Conditioning?

Are you insane?  Ok I suppose if I absolutely HAD to I could, but it’d be a struggle right now.  Non-pregnant I could do it because that body freezes when it’s 80 out, but this pregnant body thinks all things hot are from the devil!  I find myself stripping down when it’s 60 inside.

10. When you visit the zoo do you wonder which animal tastes better with a bit of butter & spices?

Not usually, but dang you.  I better not go to the zoo anytime soon!  I’m already craving pot roast.

11. Dog ate your homework/work papers. Does it crap out Shakespeare, quantum physics, or just crap?

Total crap.

12. We are taking you to a broadway show, what are we going to see?

Aww man I have to choose just one? How about I give you a list of everything I want to see and you surprise me?  Then again I want to see everything.

13. Gunshots in your neighborhood. Pop, pop, pop. Do you go out to take a look, or hide?

Neither.  It’s either the kids down the road shooting squirrels, my Grandpa shooting at whatever’s eating his garden, or my neighbor holding target practice.  If it’s hunting season add in 10,000 other things it could be.

Come on.  I live on a farm in the mountains of South Carolina…what do you expect?

Revenge Of The Diet Pill

I totally meant to do Thursday Thunks yesterday, but I got sidetracked with all the baby stuff.  I guess part of me is still sitting here thinking “it’s Friday already?”  Seriously I can’t believe how fast this week has flown by, and I really can’t believe my second ultrasound is finally here.

I’ve been so excited and anxious to get to this doctor’s appointment that I barely slept a wink last night.  I tossed and turned, and even the munchkin tossed and turn.  This little booger is normally pretty still at night, but I woke up quite a few times getting the *insert expletive here* kicked out of me.  I think someone else is happy about this appointment as well!

I did manage to still have a couple weird dreams during the few hours that I did sleep, but at least they were nightmare-ish types this time like they have been over the last few weeks.  Last night they were all weird off the wall, but hilarious when you think about it dreams.  At one point I remember waking up thinking wtf because I was being chased by a huge bottle of diet pills. I know getting the baby weight off is going to be on my mind, but seriously? Chased by diet pills? I think I’ve completely lost it!

Anywho, my latest Thursday Thunks is coming right up!
